Can the Danish magazine BoligLiv be my new favorite magazine, even though I can't read a word of it? Awhile back they contacted me for permission to use a small photo of my DIY bunting birthday card, offering to send over a magazine when the September issue was printed.

Guys, it's so lovely and full of products I'm coveting. Sofas! Bookshelves! Pillows! I want to make all the recipes and live in all the beautifully photographed homes. Apparently in Denmark, everything is spare and modern with a dose of quirkiness to keep it fun.

Google suggests that BoligLiv means "housing life." If that's a weird translation, maybe a Danish reader can help me out. Visit BoligLiv's site right here, translated into English. Be sure to check out the Creative Ideas section. Some project highlights:

A customized roller shade with instructions right here. (Or rather, "A drop down with a personal aside," as Google helpfully informs us.)

It's beautiful, isn't it?! I found out about the mag in the same way, the editor contacted me asking if they could use my heart bunting (you can see it on the right page in your first image) and now I really wish I could own half of the stuff in the rest of the mag!

A friend was just telling me about this wonderful magazine. I've got to get my hands on one! When I travel to Sweden, I always stock up on Scandinavian home magazines at the airport. I love, love, love them.

Just got back from Norway...and I spent so much time just soaking up all the great design books and home inspiration magazines. I wish I could have afforded a whole armload to bring home! (Well, I did succumb to bringing a few books and one design magazine home).
